Meet The Nigerian Tech Duo That Created An App That Can Help You Monetize The Images You Post On Social Media


Two Nigerian-Americans, Esosa Ighodaro and Abiodun Johnson have designed an app called, CoSign, that connects you to different brands and retailers.

The app make products in your photos ready-to-buy, turning your social media followers into customers and your style into a way to earn cash rewards.

The duo created the app when Johnson went on the internet to find out about a pair of red shoes he saw in a car commercial but noticed he wasn’t the only one looking for them.

When the duo started out, they didn’t have money per se. Luckily Johnson, a Dartmouth grad who grew up mainly in Memphis, Tenn., worked initially in the tech industry in project management and later in e-commerce. Ighodaro, a Temple grad who was born and raised in Brooklyn, N.Y., worked in finance and banking. But like anyone else, they had to start, even with full-time jobs.

“The first step for us was kind of putting together sketches in regards to what we were looking to create from an app perspective and then just finding the right team to put a prototype together,” explains Johnson.

“We put our money into it to begin the initial prototype phase and then, after that, started raising money through friends and family to make the more valuable product,” he says.

With that, they decided to bring the sellers of products seen on the internet or anywhere else closer to the buyer. In just 30 days of its launch, CoSign raised more than $41,000.

Upload a picture of your favorite product on the app. Tag the product info and share it on your social media channels. If someone buys from your page, then you are rewarded with cash.

Johnson and Esosa tells The Root that they hope to get enough funding for their start-up so as to increase its resources and mobility.
